Why the stamp was issued: To cover the nonprofit rate intended for use on bulk mailings by authorized nonprofit organizations.
About the stamp design: The stamp pictures an illustration of cosmos, a species popularly visited by butterflies. The design was inspired by block-printed textile and pattern designs. Artist Rigel Stuhmiller created the image by hand carving it into a linoleum block which was then inked and pressed onto paper. The colors were added digitally.
First Day City: There was no First Day of Issue Ceremony for this stamps, but the First Day City was Pine Mountain, Georgia. Pine Mountain is home to Callaway Gardens, a year-round resort that includes a butterfly house.
About the Butterfly Garden Flowers set: Includes two stamps – picturing cosmos and scabiosas – which celebrate flowers that attract butterflies. They’re both non-denominated and cover the Non-Profit Rate. They emphasize the importance of pollinators like butterflies to the health of the natural world.
History the stamp represents: Cosmos are popular garden blooms in the daisy and sunflower family. The plants are native to Mexico, but have become a common sight in gardens across North America. Cosmos must be planted annually outside their native environment. They are especially favored by those who wish to attract butterflies to their yards.
When it comes to appearance, cosmos have similar flowers to other members of the daisy family. They usually have eight flowers ranging in color from pink or white to purple, though there are also other shades, especially in hybrid varieties. Cosmos thrive in full sun, though they can survive in partial shade. They prefer alkaline soil with a pH above 7.0, and need consistent temperatures of 75 ºF for seeds to germinate.
At full growth, cosmos plants can reach sizes of up to six feet tall and three feet across. Because the bright flowers are good at attracting butterflies, birds, and other pollinators, they are popular companion plants in fruit and vegetable gardens. The pollinators that visit cosmos will likely stop at plants nearby, too.
Many people plan out their gardens months in advance. They select just the right plants that will provide beauty and utility at the same time. Cosmos are a wonderful choice and will bring a splash of color through their flowers and the butterflies visiting them.
